SACRAMENTO – Fresno State chose a great time to pick up its first Western Athletic Conference (WAC) series win of the season.
The defending national champions swept the Sacramento State Hornets in a four-game series over the weekend at Hornet Field to improve their conference record to 12-12 and clinch the No. 3 seed in this week’s WAC Tournament in Hawaii.
The Bulldogs came into the series in last place, but leap-frogged Nevada and Hawaii in the standings. Fresno State has an identical conference record with New Mexico State, but since the Bulldogs won two games against conference champion San Jose State, the Bulldogs moved into third place.
After winning Thursday’s game 15-7 and Friday’s contest 4-3, Fresno State needed only one win to clinch a spot in the postseason tourney.
Game one of Saturday’s doubleheader provided a chance for Fresno State’s young talent to be part of the Wonderdogs legacy.
